More quotes by Paulo Coelho
The best way to live a miserable life is to pay attention to what other people are saying about you.
Paulo Coelho
Never looking anyone in the eye when you're traveling on public transport, in case it's interpreted as a sign that you're trying to get off with them.
Paulo Coelho
Desire is not what you see, but what you imagine.
Paulo Coelho
I don't know what to do. I only know that it's taken me years to understand that life was pushing me in a direction I didn't want to go in.
Paulo Coelho
The glory of the world is transitory, and we should not measure our lives by it, but by the choice we make to follow our personal legend, to believe in our utopias, and to fight for our dreams.
Paulo Coelho
Human beings can withstand a week without water, two weeks without food, many years of homelessness, but not loneliness. It is the worst of all tortures, the worst of all sufferings.
Paulo Coelho
Life can seem short or life can seem long, depending on how you live it.
Paulo Coelho
Suffering occurs when we want other people to love us in the way we imagine we want to be loved, and not in the way that love should manifest itself--free and untrammeled, guiding us with its force and driving us on.
Paulo Coelho
Real love changes and grows with time and discovers new ways of expressing itself.
Paulo Coelho
Hell is when we look back during that fraction of a second and know that we wasted an opportunity to dignify the miracle of life. Paradise is being able to say at that moment: “I made some mistakes, but I wasn’t a coward. I lived my life and did what I had to do.
Paulo Coelho
He sometimes behaves like water, flowing around the obstacles he encounters.
Paulo Coelho
Love transforms, Love heals. But sometimes it lays deadly traps and ends up destroying the person who decided to surrender himself completely.
Paulo Coelho
Life was always a matter of waiting for the right moment to act.
Paulo Coelho
They went to university because someone, at a time when universities seemed important, said that in order to rise in the world, you had to have a degree. And thus the world was deprived of some excellent gardeners, bakers, antique dealers, sculptors, and writers.
Paulo Coelho
Everything depends on which path you take.
Paulo Coelho
A man's dignity isn't measured by the people he has around him when he's at the peak of his success, but by his ability not to forget those who helped him when his need was greatest.
Paulo Coelho
You should treat a muse like a fairy.
Paulo Coelho
Although I have the colors, only the Lord can mix them with such harmony.
Paulo Coelho
The warrior of the light has a destiny to fulfill.
Paulo Coelho
There are moments when troubles enter our lives and we can do nothing to avoid them.
Paulo Coelho
